Any person suffering from fibromyalgia knows how painful and depressing life can be when they have this condition. At New Century Spine Centers in San Diego, fibromyalgia is a common problem that many patients come in to get treatment for. Many fibromyalgia patients who come in for chiropractic care and spinal decompression therapy also know how misunderstood this condition can be. Until you suffer with fibromyalgia or similar conditions, it is difficult to really understand the true effects that it has on a person.
But, with the help of modern research (and a little care and understanding) some doctors are starting to gain more and more knowledge about the causes, diagnosis and treatment. It is not a condition that is completely misunderstood anymore.
For example, there was a study that involved 558 chronic pain patients. The American College of Rheumatology found that they could accurately identify which patients had fibromyalgia, at an over 85% accuracy level. This supports that fibromyalgia can be accurately diagnosed and may not be “all in your head” as many doctors and people previously thought.
It was also found in this study that many people can have fibromyalgia with less than the previously required eleven tender trigger points as long as they have widespread pain and many of the following symptoms: fatigue, chronic headache, jaw (TMJ) pain, memory problems, diarrhea, constipation, sleeping problems, muscle pain, morning stiffness, menstrual cramping, numbness and tingling, dizziness, skin and chemical sensitivities.
Stress is also very significant to know. Stress has long been theorized to be a big factor in the cause of fibromyalgia and other similar conditions. And starting a new year or dealing with the upcoming holidays such as Christmas or Thanksgiving, it is one of the most stressful times of the year.
